Heh! Very true. The number of times I have seen a fantastic cast list, but the film itself has turned out terrible... #coughTPMcough#.

That echoes my thoughts exactly :) "Nerfherder" was part of my first email address in the 90's - unfortunately, some band then picked the same name and it's difficult to find it unused now when I create accounts :(

Yeah, I'm generally liking the look of this (and am glad I've backed the KS for the physical book), but I am a little confused by the nomenclature in this sample. Why is a beastman warrior worse at fighting than a hunter - I would have expected it to be the other way round? Most adult beastment...

#1 is very impressive - congratulations to the WotC D&D team. Just checked, and it's #99 on amazon.co.uk.

Yeah, I work in a city called Newcastle (of Brown Ale fame). It is named after the new castle, that was built in 1080AD. I guess that the main fortifications before that would have been part of Hadrian's wall, 1000 years previous.

Absolutely - anything else would be un-British. No, it doesn't work, does it!

I've heard it with 100 years/miles over a dozen times on message boards. In my limited experience, I've found it easier to drive long distances in the US than the UK simply because you will be lucky to drive more than an hour here before hitting some kind of hold-up. Obviously there are...

I think the nearest I've heard is "that's not cricket" - with the implication that the English are honest, moral, and sporting (and that being more important than winning).

I started running the adventure last night. All went well until the characters encountered the rot grubs, and I suddenly realised that I didn't have 5e stats for them - so I just made them up on the spot and I don't think the players realised.

Thanks. Here's what I've done for Sanbalet: Sanbalet – Wizard 4 (Illusionist) Medium humanoid (human), CE Armor Class 13 (18 with shield) Hit Points 16 (4d6) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 9 (−1) 16 (+3) 10 (+0) 15 (+2) 10 (+0) 14 (+2) Saving Throws Int +4, Wis +2 Skills Arcana...

I'm in Newcastle right now, but I'm not knocking anyone up! I've just had a disturbed evening with a crying baby, and I've no wish for any more.

I'm prepping to run this adventure in 5e, too. This is what I quickly knocked up for Ned. Comments and criticism welcome: Ned Shakeshaft – Rogue 3 (Assassin) Medium humanoid (human), NE Armor Class 12 Hit Points 23 (3d8) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 12 (+1) 14 (+2) 15 (+2) 11 (+0)...

Thanks for the explanation. I've seen it more and more on non-UK kickstarters, and it has made me pickier about which ones I choose the physical product option for. Looking at the last "International" kickstarter I backed, it was actually being published by Pelgrane Press, so shipping to UK...

I usually miss them, too. I think this is the first time I managed to snag one. The $35 postage did make me pause and think about going PDF only - but I really like having the core books in physical format to browse through.

Kickstarter is live - get in quick for the early bird offer!

I've downloaded the free traveller's guide, and that's sold me. This is the first 5e product, other than the 3 core books, that's actually got me excited.

It was at least partly to neutralise the UKIP vote at the last general election.

No, not at all. Many have different constitutions, laws, languages, traditions, values, currency (even if many use the Euro). Just look at the UK & France, which differ in all those things.

I've played in a very enjoyable post-apocalypse game set in my home county, with 3 other local players. We had multiple tablets out on the table, with the GM telling us what had changed as we made our way along.
